Updates reference for childhood neuromuscular disorders; leaves open validation of new genetic insights before changing practice.
by Victor Dubowitz, 549 pp., ill., London, WB Saunders, 1995, $95.00. This long-overdue second edition of Muscle Disorders in Childhood continues to follow the core of the first edition, published in 1978, with emphasis on the clinical, biochemical, and pathologic aspects of neuromuscular diseases. However, it expands to fulfill the explosion of genetic information in the realm of hereditary neuromuscular disorders. The genetic information is comprehensive yet simply and eloquently written such that those not familiar with the depth of the current material …
